A while back, I was doing a Levi run as tank. We had 2 BLMs, 1 SMN, and a BRD. Despite this awesome setup and great gear, our DPS was pathetically low. We had Wavetooth's hysteria pools on the deck!

Someone runs a parser. Turns out one of the BLMs was pushing out a pathetically low 76 DPS. He apologizes but the run doesn't improve. A votekick comes up, we boot the BLM, get a competent MNK, and go on to win the match.

DPS meters are great. I know some people don't like elitist pricks but low DPS WIPES THE PARTY. Other members can pick up the slack only so far. At the end of the day, people are there to get loot and no one wants to waste time constantly wiping over and over again because some BLM insists on spamming thunder.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. Blame Yoshida for designing instances with extreme DPS checks. You almost never saw this in XI.
